MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.,
Jan. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Sun National Bank ("the Bank"), the primary subsidiary of
Sun Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNBC), is pleased to announce that it
will host three Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites in
partnership with United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and the Campaign for
Working Families in 2017. The Bank has traditionally provided
complimentary VITA locations in Burlington and Cumberland Counties. In
2017, the Bank and United Way are adding a third VITA location in
Atlantic County.
The VITA program is an IRS-supported tax preparation service,
through which trained volunteers prepare taxes at no cost for
qualifying individuals and families. Nearly 100 Sun National Bank
employees will serve as VITA volunteers in 2017. "The VITA
program helps low- to moderate-income working families in our
communities with free tax preparation assistance," said
Thomas M. O'Brien, President &
CEO. "We are pleased to donate our resources, including our
facilities and supplies as well as the time, energy and expertise
of our employees to this worthy cause of community
development. These programs have a beneficial impact on
families."
Last year, VITA volunteers filed more than 29,000 tax returns
across the region, which returned more than $41 million to local communities. In
addition to providing free tax preparation services, VITA also
connects low-to-moderate income families with valuable tax credits,
including the Earned Income Tax Credit, which can return as much as
$6,318 to qualifying taxpayers.
Beginning in January, VITA tax preparation services will be
available at the following Sun National
Bank locations:
- Cumberland County: 226 Landis
Avenue, Vineland, N.J
- Burlington County: 99 Hartford
Road, Medford, N.J.
- Atlantic County: 599 New Road,
Linwood, N.J.
Bank employees will serve as greeters at these VITA locations,
and provide assistance to program participants.
Individuals and families can learn more about the program,
including qualifications for VITA, what information to bring to the
tax site, hours, and more at www.cwfphilly.org or
